There are some modes that expect buffers to have specific content (e.g. think dired-mode or gnus-summary-mode etc.) and it may be that *some* may inadvertently throw away anything that doesn't fit their world view... These are modes that will typically be invoked by another command, not by the user directly. As I said, it was a throwaway comment I saw on the Emacs developer list. -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4.4-213-g49364f
